What Does Lyme Disease Look Like?

Not everyone diagnosed with Lyme disease has the telltale bull's-eye rash. Symptoms can mimic those of the flu and include fatigue, headache, stiff neck, fever, chills, body aches and joint pain. If you believe you may have Lyme disease, it is important that you consult with your healthcare provider for proper diagnosis.
